Just wanted to share the recording of this USD presentation I gave at FMX 2024 now on Youtube titled **OpenUSD in Small Studios – What Does It Really Take?**

So watch it here:

You can find [the presentation in the original FMX program](https://fmx.de/en/about/fmx-2024/program/detail/event/29071) and as the description states:

> Walkthrough of how OpenUSD is used with [AYON](https://ayon.ynput.io/) at animation studio [Colorbleed](https://colorbleed.nl/), presented by Technical Director and Founder, [Roy Nieterau](https://www.linkedin.com/in/roynieterau/).

However, it’s mostly a “what shit may you face when adopting USD?” showcasing the draft implementation we laid out for our first production (with visual demos) and a breakdown of the issues we hit along the way and how you could detect them or workaround them.

Feedback is much appreciated of course! 🙂
